I trashed my LinkedIn account at 1800 JST today, October 28, 2025.
The reasons are various, including:
- Microsoft’s promoting of users, many identifying as “founders,” “entreprenuers,” or “creators,” and who post bluster that they are the best thing since sliced bread and present fantasies bragging that they never lose, despite facing tremendous obstacles,
- Microsoft’s punishing of users with the temerity to be honest or disagree with the Microsoft social media business model, by shadow-banning posts on their accounts,
- Microsoft’s incessant promoting of AI and promoting of AI promotors, and, last but certainly not least,
- Microsoft’s recently revealed sycophantic donation to a major destruction project in the land of the free and the home of the bang, bang, you’re dead, motherfucker.
To me, LinkedIn was never anything more than an annoying time and attention theft. I fixed that problem at 1800 JST today.
I can be reached, of course, by methods noted in my company’s parent website.
